**THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** Yanis Varoufakis, world renowned
economist, writes to his daughter to teach her the hazards of
capitalism. 'Why is there so much inequality?' asked Xenia to her
father. Answering her questions in a series of accessible and
tender letters, Varoufakis educates her to what economics and
capitalism is and why it is so dangerous. Taking from memories of
her childhood and a variety of well-known tales - from Oedipus and
Faust to Frankenstein and The Matrix - Varoufakis turns Talking To
My Daughter into an enjoyable and engaging read, without ever
shying from the harder truths. Greece's former finance minister
explains everything you need to know to understand why economics is
the most important drama of our times. In answering his daughter's
deceptively simple questions, Varoufakis disentangles our troubling
world with remarkable clarity and child-like honesty, as well as
inspiring us to make it a better one. 'Utterly accessible, deeply
humane and startlingly original - a potent democratic tool at the
perfect time' Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine
